Beauty – Minneapolis

In 2008 I graduated from the Aveda Institute Minneapolis in Cosmetology. I specialize in weddings and special occasion hair and makeup. Beginning in the summer of 2014 I was welcomed to collaberate with Paige Thomley from Duende Imagery on fashion shoots. We have mastered works of art together, and continue to grow each season with our creative passions. In working with Paige on her visions, I've discovered a power in using makeup as my art form. It gives me the ability to transform an everyday person into a character from a story that hasn't been told yet. I believe makeup has the power to make people see a beauty within themselves they never knew existed. We have made our mirrors toxic, and believe the negative comments we thrust at ourselves. Sometimes it takes the eye of another to remind us how lovely we have always been. My mission is to make each person I work with feel and look their best from the inside out, without taking away who they truly are.
